JAMES ANTHONY BRESNAHAN. “A courier brave and true was he.” “Dink” has won great renown in his position of offiee-boy. He always rushes aroutid the building as though he were a busy man. We do not know what Mr. Woodbury will do without him Chief occupation — running errands for C. T. GLADYS BROWN. ‘‘Soft peace she brings wherever she arrives.” Looks are deceitful. Gladys seems rjuict but she can make quite a disturbance for one of her size. She once astonished everybody by smiling at Mr. Wood- bury. Noted for her kindness to Reddy. JULIA LORETTA BUCKLEY. ‘‘She’ll not be hit by Cupid’s arrow.” Julia is an ardent admirer of Mr. Benedict, though she spends a lot of time in the office visiting C. T. She knows how to take care of herself and is chiefly occupied in doing so. ROY IRVING BULL. ‘‘Hang sorrow ! Care will kill a cat And therefore let’s be merry.” Roy never lets his studies weigh too heavily on his mind. He is a star basketball player and a good athlete. He always likes to jolly the teachers, espe- cially Miss Day. Noted for his attentions to Esther. 14

RUSSELL FRANCES ALDRICH. “Arise! shake the hayseed from off thee!’’ Russell hails from West Fitchburg but so far has been able to live down the disgrace. He rushes mes- sages for C. T. the second hour. His favorite study is current events as set forth in the Boston Dost. Noted for his manly stride. PEARL DELIA BEAUREGARD. “Happy am I, from care I’m free, Why aren’t they all contented like me?’’ Pearl is one of our gayest members. She is a great friend of everybody and is especially fond of the boys. She knows how to enjoy herself at class par- ties and elsewhere. She was vice-president Junior year. Latest acquisition — a diamond ring. IDA BLANCHARD. “A gentle beaming smile reflected from thy look.’’ Ida is one of our diminutives and spends all her time studying and visiting South Fitchburg. She also is one of the prominent artists of the class. Noted for her unfailing good humor. BERTHA MAY BOUTWELL. “In sooth it were a pleasant life with nothing in the world to do’’ — Except to play with Mr. McNamara. Still Bertha studies quite hard when Townend isn’t distracting her. She is suspected of having fractured a mirror in the dressing-room. Noted for her devotion to physics. 13

LEvSLIH LITTLEFIELD CATE. “The windy satisfaction of the tongue.’’ Leslie is very energetic. He spends part of his en- ergy in selecting sporty socks and the rest in entering to Miss Smith. He is one of our greatest orators and is an old offender on the platform. Perhaps that ex- plains why his voice is so gentle. Noted for the aforesaid voice. JAMES FRANCIS COLBERT. “ Honest labor bears a lovely face.’’ “ Dutchy ” is a typical Deutscher, and although ac- counted one of our silent members he can make him- self heard at the proper time. He plans to keep bach- elor apartments so isn’t to be jollied about the ladies. Noted for minding his own business. RUTH MARGUERITE CLEVERLY. “To be loved is all I need, And whom I love, I love indeed.’’ In this case Pensel, ’09, is the favored individual. Ruth is one of Miss Smith’s civics stars and is also noted for her artistic abilities. She is not the quiet- est person in school. Chief amusement — whispering. VIOLA COFMAN. “What harmony is this? My good friends, hark!’’ Viola can talk German faster than anyone in school. She has been a member of the orchestra ever since Freshman year. She has always taken a leading part in school entertainments and we expect to see her on the stage soon. Noted for her dramatic abilities. 15
